Trump to Nominate His Former Lawyer Todd Blanche as Attorney General to Replace Pam Bondi
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday his intention to nominate Todd Blanche as the new U.S. Attorney General, following the dismissal of Pam Bondi. Blanche, who previously served as Trump's personal attorney and interim Attorney General, has been actively promoting the president's agenda. Trump plans to formally submit the nomination on Thursday. Blanche has faced criticism for his aggressive investigations against Trump's opponents and for proposing a nearly $1.8 billion fund to compensate allies for alleged political persecution. The Senate will need to vote on his nomination, and Blanche's actions have sparked bipartisan backlash, complicating his confirmation process.
